# IslandDAO: Treasury Proposal (Dean's List Proposal)

## Summary
Proposal to establish a treasury reserve for Dean's List DAO funded by allocating 2.5% of all USDC payments received. Treasury managed by Kai (@DeFi_Kai) with quarterly performance reviews and community oversight. Funds held in Mango Delegate Account via Realms with risk-scored asset allocation framework (80/20 safe/risky split).

## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Passed
- **Proposer:** futard.io
- **Proposal Account:** 8SwPfzKhaZ2SQfgfJYfeVRTXALZs2qyFj7kX1dEkd29h
- **DAO Account:** 9TKh2yav4WpSNkFV2cLybrWZETBWZBkQ6WB6qV9Nt9dJ
- **Autocrat Version:** 0.3
- **Created:** 2024-10-10
- **Completed:** 2024-10-14

## Mechanism Design

### Risk Scoring Framework
Assets evaluated using weighted risk score (Rs) formula:
- Volatility Weight: 0.4
- Liquidity Risk Weight: 0.2
- Market Cap Risk Weight: 0.3
- Drawdown Risk Weight: 0.1

Assets with RS >= 0.5 classified as safe, RS <= 0.5 as risky. Portfolio maintains 80/20 safe/risky allocation.

### Governance Structure
- Treasury Manager: Kai (@DeFi_Kai)
- Quarterly performance reviews required
- Community input on asset diversification
- Performance fee: 5% of quarterly profit with 3-month vesting

### Asset Whitelisting Process
New assets must:
1. Increase overall returns
2. Offer diversification when required
3. Replace similar asset with lower risk score

Weight assessed to achieve highest safe returns.

## Deliverables (First Quarter)
1. Define "rainy day" scenarios with community
2. Produce treasury reports covering:
   - Treasury growth metrics
   - Asset allocation and diversification
   - Expected return calculations
   - Sharpe Ratio for risk-adjusted performance
   - Maximum drawdown analysis
   - Actual vs expected returns
   - Risk management summary

## Significance
First futarchy-governed treasury management proposal with formalized risk scoring framework. Demonstrates evolution from simple pass/fail decisions to complex financial governance with quantitative risk assessment and performance accountability.

## Full Proposal Text

*Source: futard.io, tabled 2024-10-10*

Establish a reserve within the Dean's List treasury on Realms for financial stability and long-term growth. Funded by allocating 2.5% of all USDC payments received by the DAO.

**Treasury Management:** Managed by Kai (@DeFi_Kai) with quarterly performance reviews. Reserved funds held in Mango Delegate Account via Realms. Diversification options: USDY (yield-bearing USD) and JLP (Jupiter Liquidity Pools).

**Risk Scoring Framework:**
Rs = (w1·Volatility) + (w2·Liquidity Risk) + (w3·Market Cap Risk) + (w4·Historical Drawdown Risk)
- Volatility Weight: 0.4
- Liquidity Risk: 0.2
- Market Cap Risk: 0.3
- Drawdown Risk: 0.1
- Assets Rs ≤ 0.5 are risky; Rs ≥ 0.5 are safer
- Portfolio: 80/20 split (80% safe, 20% risky)

**Performance Fee:** 5% of quarterly profit with 3-month vesting.

**TWAP Requirement:** Current MCAP 523K USDC → target 539K USDC (3% increase). $DEAN price: 0.005227 → 0.005383.

**First Quarter Deliverables:** Define rainy day scenarios, produce initial treasury reports (growth, allocation, expected returns, Sharpe ratio, max drawdown, risk management summary).
